Review of the Brussels Ia Regulation

8 submissions from 7 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.

The Commission received 18 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 8 from organizations. Not shown: 10 from private individuals. Their submissions are personal data; the Commission publishes them under its own legal basis, and republishing them by name here would need one we do not have. Organizations act in a public capacity, so their positions are public record. About this data →

Interest section of the Article 53 certificate In cross-border enforcement practice, the information relating to interest is not always sufficiently clear for enforcement authorities in other Member States. The certificate should enable the enforcement authority to determine the enforceable amount without having to establish the content of foreign interest legislation.

Penalty payments (astreintes) The Regulation does not clearly address the enforcement of penalty payments that accrue after issuance of the Article 53 certificate. In practice, certificates are often issued shortly after the judgment, while the penalty payments may continue to accrue afterwards.

We support the Commissions objective to simplify, clarify and modernise the Brussels Ia Regulation in order to strengthen legal certainty, reduce litigation costs and administrative burdens, and improve the competitiveness of EU businesses in cross-border transactions. The Commission also explicitly identifies digitalisation as an area to be addressed in the review.

I am in favour of reviewing the Brussels Ia Regulation. After more than 10 years of application, a clarification of certain rules can enhance legal certainty without undermining the overall balance of the Regulation. In my view, particular attention should be paid to the foreseeability of the court having jurisdiction.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed”. You read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
